The Victorian Period (1832–1901) (1 janv. 1832 – 1 janv. 1901)

Description:

Named after the reign of Queen Victoria, it was a time of social, religious, intellectual, and economic splendor, due to the expansion of the voting rights. This fostered the popularity, influence and prolificity of English literature. In poetry, Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christina Rossetti, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and Matthew Arnold, are well known. The development of the Essay by Thomas Carlyle, John Ruskin, and Walter Pater was highly noted. Prose fiction was enormously developed by Charles Dickens, Charlotte and Emily Bronte, Elizabeth Gaskell, George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), Anthony Trollope, Thomas Hardy, William Makepeace Thackeray, and Samuel Butler. This period is divided into “Early” (1832–1848), “Mid” (1848–1870) and “Late” (1870–1901) periods or into two phases, the Pre-Raphaelites (1848–1860) and the Aestheticism and Decadence (1880–1901).
